Abstract: A systems may compress a first bone portion relative to a second bone portion. The system may have an anchor moveable through a hole in the first bone portion or the second bone portion. The anchor includes a proximal component that has a proximal component proximal end with a head, and a proximal component distal end with a bore. The anchor also includes a distal component that has a distal component proximal end, including a shaft that may be translatably retained within the bore. The distal component also has a distal component distal end with a toggle mechanism that is moveable and/or actuatable. The toggle mechanism may move between a retracted position, in which the toggle mechanism may be inserted through the hole in the bone, and a deployed position, in which the toggle mechanism may extend beyond the hole, thereby restricting motion and applying compressive force to the bone.

Abstract: A switch interlock device for controlling certain switching operations within a switch panel, the switch interlock device including a bracket and an interlock tripping mechanism. The bracket being configured to be coupled to a housing of the switch panel and comprising a face member coupled with a spanning member extending a depth of the housing, the spanning member operably coupled to a back wall of the housing. The interlock tripping mechanism coupled to the face member of the bracket and positioned between a pair of horizontally adjacent switches housed within the housing of the switch panel, the interlock tripping mechanism configured to: restrict the pair of horizontally adjacent switches from both being in an ON position at the same time; and switch one of the pair of horizontally adjacent switches to an OFF position when the other of the pair of horizontally adjacent switches is switched to the ON position.

Abstract: Particular polyurethane photopolymers are disclosed as materials of construction in producing improved polishing pads. The polyurethane photopolymers are formed from a polyurethane prepolymer prepared from the reaction products of a first reactant selected from the group consisting of polyesters, polyethers, polybutadienes and mixtures of the foregoing with diisocyanates, further reacted with acrylates and/or methacrylates.

Abstract: Process for making a polymer and the resultant polymer wherein polymer particles, preferably those having a core and a shell structure, most preferably wherein the core comprises polybutadiene and the shell comprises polymethylmethacrylate, are included in metathesis polymerizable mixtures to provide the resultant polymer with improved resistance to oxidation and greater retention of mechanical properties upon thermal aging, and to toughen the resultant polymer.
